PERSONAL MENTION.

Mr.. J. D. IIagerty, of Washington,
called on US Tuesday.
Hon. T. S. Fontenot, of Chataignier,
called on the DEMOCRAT this week.
Mr.. L. P. Chaudet, of New Orleans,
was here last Sunday.
DR.. VIM. Childs, of Church Point,
called in to see us on Wednesday last.
Misses Bessie Lewis and Hattie Haas
are visiting New Orleans.
DR.. Delaney Lewis was down from
Barrye Landing the middle of the
week.
Mr.. Dan Edwards, of Bayou Bnuf,
was visiting friends and relatives here
last Sunday.
DR.. T. G. Lyons, formerly of our par
ish, but now of Point Coupee, was in
town last Saturday.
Mr.. E. S. Taylor, who has been at
tending lectures at Louisville, Ky,
arrived Tuesday last.
Mr.. Marion Swords, of Big Cane,
was down last Saturday with a party
of men for registration.
Mr.. S. Lehman, of S. Lehman &.
Sons, Louisville, Ky, called on his
Opelousas friends during the week.
Mr.. Victor Herbert, representing the
firm of A. Lehman & Co., New Orleans,
was on the streets the first of the week.
Mr.. J. Dinkelspeil, representing l..
Oppenheimer & Co., Louisville, Ky,
was among his mercantile friends here
last Sunday.
AS was predicted some time since, the
Governor has, without assigning any
reason, removed Mr.. Cooke, the Return
ing Officer, after the latter had made
and published all the arrangements for
the special judicial election on the 27th
Mr.. J. J. Thompson, the new appointee,
Immediately altered these arrange
ments, changing the commissioners at
all the polls, and changing the polls of
I
Croche and Leonville. No reason is
given out for these chang ges-changes
made just ten days before the election.
1t will be remembered that McEnery
deprived the people of this district of
the right to elect their Judge last spring,
giving as a pretext that changes in the
precincts and polling places were made
necessary by the running of the divis-
ion line of Acadia and St. Landry, and
that such changes could not be made
uithin sir months Of an election. As
there is a large vote at the four polls
above mentioned, the result of the cleo
ton may depend upon these polls, and
if Judge Estilette, the governors ap-
pointee, should be defeated by the vote
at these polls, then anybody can see
that the way is laid wide open to con-
test these polls, and so enable him to
hold on to the judgcship until the expi-
ration of the term.
McEnery is none too good to purpose
" create an infoTmality to aid his
friends. That is exactly the style of
his treatment of St. Landry ever since
he found out at the convention four
years ago that st. Landry was dead
against him.
